The outer leaves grow closely about the head. The heads are quite thick 
and uniformly solid. It is a very reliable header, and under good cultiva- 
tion will attain a weight of 
15 pounds. Packet, 10 cts.;

Charleston Wakefield. = 
i 

An Improved and Larger Form of Jersey 
Wakefield. True Type. 
The Wakefield, with its pointed heads, held 
the leading place among early cabbages for 
several decades, out of sheer merit; and it is 
still in favor with all market gardeners. It 
has the serious shortcomings of being small in 
size and light in weight, but is so reliably early 
and so genuinely good that nothing can wholly 
supersede it or drive it out of the markets. 
The Charleston Wakefield is an improved and 
larger form of Maule’s Prize Wakefield. It re- 
‘quires rather more time to reach maturity, but 
it yields fully twice the crop of the original 
‘ Wakefield cabbage. It is about a week or 10 days 
uy later than its parent, and comes along in a close 
A succession to the earliest cabbage crop. It is a 
strain which cannot be profitably overlooked by 
any gardener, whether it is intended for a pri- 
vate garden or to besent to market. All the mar- 
ket gardeners near the great Eastern cities plant 
Charleston Wakefield for second early cabbage, 
and there is no better second early sort. It has 
a less pointed head than its ancestor. 
Charleston Wakefield is a good keeper and 
may be planted as asecond crop, to mature in 
the autumn, if desired. It isa first rate shipper, 
and in great favor with everybody who knows 
it. I recommend it highly. Packet, 10 cts.; 
ounce. 35 cts.; 4 pound, $i; pound, $3.50.
